Software Use • All faculty, staff and student of the University are required and expected to obey the laws and legal agreements governing software use. • Failure to do so can lead to monetary damages and/or criminal penalties for the individual violator. Because such violations are also against University policies and rules, disciplinary action will be taken as appropriate. • We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to uphold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.

Software Use • Design Expert software can be down loaded for 45 day trial period. Contact the company for such down loads at www.statease.com • To my knowledge the students must provide the following information in an online form prior to download: • full name, mailing address, source of advertisement leading to the download. • After the first installation a key is hidden in the computer to prevent subsequent installations without purchase so 45 days is 45 days unless you buy the program or reinstall your operating system. • Beyond the trial period, please contact the company for possible extension. • As mentioned above, illegal use of the software is prohibited. • As instructor of this course, I do not endorse or recommend any methods other than legally accepted ones to obtain and use the software.

Master Guide Sheet that can be used to help plan and design an experiment. It serves as a checklist to improve experimentation and ensures that results are not corrupted for lack of careful planning. 1. Experimenter's Name and Organization: Brief Title of Experiment: 2. Objectives of the experiment (should be specific, measurable and of practical consequence): 3. Relevant background on response and control variables: (a) theoretical relationships; (b) expert knowledge/ experience; (c) previous experiments. Where does this experiment fit into the study of the process or

4. List: (a) each response variable , (b) the normal response variable level at which the process runs, the distribution or range of normal operation, (c) the precision or range to which it can be measured (and how): 5. List: (a) each control variable , (b) the normal control variable level at which the process is run, and the distribution or range of normal operation, (c) the precision (s) or range to which it can be set (for the experiment, not ordinary plant operations) and the precision to which it can be measured, (d) the proposed control variable settings, and (e) the predicted effect (at least qualitative) that the settings will have on each response variable:

6. List: (a) each factor to be " held constant " in the experiment, (b) its desired level and allowable range of variation, (c) the precision or range to which it can be measured (and how), (d) how it can be controlled, and (e) its expected impact, if any, on each of the responses:
